Pretty sure this is a campaign violation. See how Sutcliffe stamped his name on the ByWard Market Action Plan.

Can someone think of (and list) a few of Sutcliffe's major accomplishments for Ottawa since he has taken over office?
It depends on your definition of "accomplishments".

He would list the police break room on Rideau as an accomplishment. It has never opened to the public and doesn't seem to have really done anything to reduce crime in the Market. Case an point, the recent stabbing a few steps from the police break room: https://www.ledroit.com/actualites/...e-rideau-a-ottawa-CMDC3KUKZBHA5OOX6JTFWTUI6I/

He would also list Lansdowne 2.0, even though it has been greatly value engineered from the Watson era proposal, much like the newly unveiled Byward Market plan.

Otherwise, the OC Transpo budget has gone up, but when you look at the numbers, inflation and such, budget has actually gone down. We can see that with the service and O-Train frequencies cut in half mid-day and weekends.

"Low" taxes would also be an accomplishment he would claim, but costs have gone up more than inflation on some other City services (water for example).

Everything Watson left him has either not advanced (Stage 3 of the O-Train) or been value engineered to a point where it may leave the project worse than it was before (imo Lansdowne 2.0).
